Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis diet the pancreatitis diet review
pancreatitis
If the liver enzymes are elevated, it more typically is the result of the portion of the common bile duct - below the level of the entry of the pancreatic duct - to be in spasm. Probably somewhere in the vicinity of the opening to the duodenum. When that happens it means that the pancreatic fluid and the bile backs up. The liver enzymes rise because they have no outlet and they're spilled into the blood.
I have been diagnosed now with Pancreatitis and it is painful, Lortab and ofcourse the morphine helped the pain. I am new to this site and hit the wrong area accidentally, i am in the Gastro forum now..
I have had what my gastroenterologist calls mild pancreatitis several times in the last few years. What can I do to prevent the pancreatitis from re-occurring? Is there a specific diet? My doctor just says, "bed rest, lots of fluids, a light diet." I'm not sure what "a light diet" means. Since I already eat light (6 VERY small meals a day - due to my many intestinal surgeries), I don't know what more I can do.
David, is there is any tie-in between your having pancreatitis and any gallbladder malfunctioning? If there is, and if the gallbladder issue isn't cleared up, the pancreatitis could reoccur. Also, make sure the pancreatitis is not due to an autoimmune issue. If it is, it needs to be treated 'differently.
Can the medicine Zanaflex cause Pancreatitis? I have looked up information on this med and it states that 1 out of 20 patients could develop liver damage. I was diagnosed with Pancreatitis on 10/14/08. I had never had it in my life. I am afraid this medicine has caused it. I have never ever picked up any type of drink other than diet pepsi and jucie. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am so scared and hurting.
She thought she had the flu for over two weeks, she went to the ER and was admitted for acute pancreatitis. She stayed in the hospital for 2 weeks. Ellie is a vegan so her diet was optimal to start with. After a month or two things settled back into normal and then she had another episode in October/11. Scans and tests do not reveal any stones or blocked ducts but 1/3 of her pancreas is necrotic. She was a healthy 25 yr old that by her own admission did drink beer and or wine but not to excess.
Hi,
I saw a post of a case similar to mine where the liver was affected as well as the pancreas with wieght gain instead of loss on a low fat diet. Im wondering what causes that especially in pancreatitis? I loss alot of weight a year ago, was real sick with abnormal bruising and weakness, falling down, ect, this was before pancreas started acting up again, prior to that I had only one acute episode of pancreatitis.
My dog was perfectly fine with SLIGHT high BUN (35-38). I put her on the NF diet in an effort to keep the kidney disease at bay, and suddenly her pancreatitis went crazy! She got very ill and didn't want to eat. I tried to put her back on her old food to get her back to normal, but it was too late. She's been hospitalized for four days. Her BUN/Creat "stabilized" at 116/6.7.
my dog has had pancreatitis 2 times he is 8 yrs old and he hasnt shown symptoms in 2 yrs. we got a kitten over the weekend and the dog ended up eating the cat food a couple of times. now he has diahrea and i have seen a couple blood drops by the poop. Is there something i can do for him other then take him to the vet. It is the same exact symtoms as last time so i really dont need to pay a couple hunred dollars for them to tell me what i already know.
i am so glad I finally found someone with the same problem as I have, chronic pancreatitis. I have been going on a trial and error diet and don't want to get the pain and misery again! I did broil some chicken breast and had no problems. Also can eat about 2 ounces of tuna packed in water. As the pancreatitis has caused me to be diabetic that also causes problems. I am eating several small meals each day.
Wouold be glad of any suggestions that have worked for some body else.
I subsequently developed chronic pancreatitis and was diagnosed with Sphincter of Oddi. Rather than have the invasive surgery I went on a strict, fresh chicken soup diet with supplements ordered by an Ayruvedic doctor. Within 2 years I was completely recovered and could eat anything. However, last year I began to develop symptoms of pain in the center and left quadrant of my upper abdomen, nausea, mild weight loss. I would feel sick if I ate and sick if I didn't.
Hi leeanne. :-) I lost my first dog to pancreatitis when he was almost 14. He was NPO for the last 3 weeks of his life. After the first week, he seemed well enough to try plain chicken and rice and he really enjoyed it. Little did we know it was his last meal. The next day he was right back to barfing everything - including water. We took him to a specialist hospital where he had the same treatment in ICU as a human with pancreatitis.
My husband had pancreatitis in October. He apparently had gallstones blocking the bile duct. The gallstones did not cause him any pain, but the blockage to the pancreas was the problem. He had his gallbladder removed, as they believed it would reoccur.
for like the 80th time or if this could just be the result of pancreatitis and my diet change.

Her diet started out as Hills diet G/D (not K/D because of her pancreatitis). She has lost ~4.5 pounds since she was diagnosed. I have tried a homecooked diet specialized for kidney failure while also considering her pancreatitis. Still struggling to get her to eat.
Does anyone have any pointers on how to handle this?
s mild pancratitis, he should follow the same diet he did when he had pancreatitus in the past, and then slowly add back also using digestive enzymes to give his system some help.
In autoimmune pancreatitis, once diagnosed the treatment is basically steroids/corticosteroids which can help.
And since he's just had his GB out, he shoudl be following a low fat diet. In many individuals, they can have problems digesting fats due to a lack of bile release 'regulation.
Hello Everyone,
My Wiz had a dental/extraction and ultrasound today. The us showed significant kidney changes… as well as an enlarged or hardened pancreatic node I think. We are putting him on a bp med and maybe some chinese herbs eventually. One of his kidney values was very mildly elevated so I wanted to do the ultrasound and he has had vomiting on and off… it seemed to be hairball related, I treated that and it seems to help and sometimes food related.
t eat anything out of the ordinary before she got sick. She was on a regular diet of Orijens Senior food in the morning and has a small plate of string beans at night. Treats have always been Greenies, Charlie Bears and Milkbone's MarroSnacks. For now, the vet has her eating 4 small meals a day (a combo of Prescription Diet's W/D, smaller amounts of the Orijens, rice or pasta, and boiled chicken).
Today, three weeks after it all started and one week after the extremely elevated levels, the enzyme levels have come down to over 700 and over 4,000. I was on a clear liquid diet the last two and a half days, and have lost 15 pounds due to the little I've eaten throughout the weeks. I was told to begin eating again and we will recheck Monday.
I have a history of being diagnosed with pancreatitis - beginning at age 15.
